About this place
What to expect
Mount Royal National Park is a superb natural environment just waiting to be visited and admired. As part of Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, the park contains many birds and animals that remain relatively the same as their fossilised ancestors. It's also home to various threatened and vulnerable species of wildlife such as the Hastings River mouse, parma wallaby, rufous scrub bird and paradise riflebird, and the glossy black-cockatoo. Come and explore this park. Youngville campground is the ideal base to pitch your tent. Head out from there to see more. Challenging walking tracks lead you to the summit of scenic rock features like Pieries Peak, so bring your hiking boots. You'll experience a variety of forest and vegetation types including shrubland, tall open forest, wet eucalypt forest, mid-altitude grassy forest and rainforest.
